Academic Excellence

Fundamental and distinctive to the Pinecrest Academy educational philosophy is Integral Formation®. This proven method involves the concentrated, systematic and directed way of educating a child who becomes capable of projecting God’s love into the wider community and culture around him. We view Integral Formation® as four pillars: Intellectual, Human, Spiritual and Apostolic Formation.

Leadership through Athletics

At Pinecrest Academy, we believe athletics plays a very important role in preparing our student-athletes to strive to maximize their character and leadership skills. Our school motto "semper altius", meaning "always higher", challenges our students to be their best for the team and for Christ. Our philosophy of Integral Formation® is incorporated into the athletic program as we work to develop Christian leaders who will transform society.

Arts

Research has shown that an education program that includes the arts promotes student success, not only in terms of academic achievement, but also in learning and development outside of the classroom, such as critical thinking, decision making and social skills. At Pinecrest Academy, fine arts is an integral part of our curriculum from PreK3 through 12th grade.

Campus Life

Because of Pinecrest Academy’s commitment to the development of the whole person, we provide students with opportunities inside and outside of the classroom. Our extracurricular clubs and events allow students to explore personal interests and develop new skills and talents. From band and vocal ensembles to the Kindergarten Circus, drama productions to the Saints Parade, our events enhance the curriculum and build school spirit.

Supporting Pinecrest

Pinecrest Academy is blessed with a strong tradition of giving. Our parents, grandparents, alumni, faculty, staff and extended community continually demonstrate giving hearts. We are truly grateful for this support. This generosity helps us fulfill our mission to form Christian leaders who will transform society.

Recreational Soccer Registration -- Closes January 12

1/5/2018

Registration for Recreational Soccer will close on Friday, January 12. After January 12, a late fee of $25 will be added to the total and athletes will not be guaranteed a spot on a team. Pinecrest’s team rosters are due to the league soon after registration closes, so it is very difficult to add players on at that point.

There are two places parents will need to register -- once on Pinecrest’s registration site, where parents will submit payment, and then once on the United Futbol Academy (UFA) site, where parents will submit player information so that UFA has it in their system.

Please keep in mind that parents will ONLY submit payment through Pinecrest’s registration - NOT UFA's system. There are detailed instructions via the link below that explain how to register into UFA's system and how to avoid the payment at the end of their registration.

The commitment to this recreational league is one practice a week for one hour and one game on Saturdays. Some of the older age groups like to practice twice a week; this usually begins at the U10 or U12 level. Practice schedules will likely be available in early February.

Each player is placed on a team according to their age, NOT by grade level. Please use the information below as a reference to see what level each player would be assigned to, based on age.

U6 League - Born in 2012, 2013

U8 League - Born in 2010, 2011

U10 League - Born in 2008, 2009

U12 League - Born in 2006, 2007

The first practices will begin the week of Tuesday, February 20 (Monday is President's Day). Each team will have a one-hour slot on one particular day each week throughout the season (i.e. every Tuesday at 3:30-4:30).

The first games will be on Saturday, March 3. Parents interested in coaching a team are invited to contact Ryan Weingart, Associate Athletic Director.

IMPORTANT: Please remember that you need to register on two separate sites, once through Pinecrest and once through UFA, as stated above. It is very important that information is submitted on both sites.

Questions regarding the league or registration may be sent to Ryan Weingart.

SEMPER ALTIUS = ALWAYS HIGHER

The mission of Pinecrest Academy is reflected in the word Integer, which is Latin for “whole,” or “entire,” and reflects our goal of forming the whole child as an authentic “Person in Christ.” The school slogan Semper Altius, means “Always Higher,” and challenges our students, parents, staff and faculty to strive for excellence in all areas of Integral Formation® - intellectual, spiritual, human and apostolic.
